9 1/2 games in the book and not one HR. This is a beautiful park,but 330 down each line with a 12 ft. wall is overkill. Drop the wall to 6 ft. and you have the right dimensions.HR's are and should be part of the game. My sons are pitchers and I'm complaining about this!Again kudo's to Falcon Park and the city of Auburn.

Castleton St comes back with a big inning of their own, scoring 4 times in the bottom of the 2nd to tie up Farmingdale 6-6. What looked like a slugfest has slowed down as neither team has scored since as they enter the top of the 7th.

Farmingdale regains the lead with 2 runs in the top of the 7th to go up 8-6 over Castleton.

Castleton St was threatening to tie the game up as they had the bases loaded with 2 out in the bottom of the 7th, but a grounder to the 3rd baseman who forced the runner from second ended the inning. Still 8-6 heading into the 8th.

Castleton St. batting in the bottom of the 9th down 9-6. 1st batter reaches on an error by the shortstop, followed by 2 straight base hits to plate 1 run and put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

Next batter hits a deep fly ball to left for the 1st out as the runners both move up to 2nd and 3rd. Next batter fouls out to the catcher and the following batter hits a ground ball to the shortstop for what should have been the final out but he bobbles the ball and the runner is safe at 1st and another run scores. Runners now at the corners and the runner on 1st steals 2nd. Base hit could win the game but the batter has 2 strikes on him and on the next pitch hits a ball to the shortstop who throws the ball over the 1st baseman's head and the tying and winning run both score. Final 10-9 Castleton St.

We've all been there.  You have to play defense.
A walk is never as good as a hit!

Is it too early to say "Cinderella Story"? If they win tonight...............wow. I wish so much I could have stayed for the rest of the tourney. Next year and the following and the following..............

Does anyone know where the regionals will be held in 2011? Or have the announced it yet?

Thanks

Gotta feel bad for the Farmingdale shortstop. Wouldn't wish 3 errors in one inning on anyone.

scscoach,
I appreciate the effort at the + 1 but you're too new to be able to do that. And if you didn't find what you were looking for when you were on the help page, you need to have 200 posts on the boards before you are allowed to give or take away karma points. I gave you a plus 1 yesterday but karma action also can only be done once to any 1 poster in a 24 hour period. Hope that helps. ;) :D ;D

You can e-mail me using the personal messaging service if you have any questions. I'll be glad to help out.

Cortland becomes the only undefeated team left in the regional as they down St. John Fisher 6-1. Mike Assman with a complete game 5 hitter, lost his shutout when the Cardinals had 2 singles in the 9th inning to produce their only run.
Fisher will face the winner of the Oneonta St./Castleton St. game tomorrow at 1:00 PM. Cortland, certainly in the driver's seat to advance. Hard to believe they won't win the regional. With Oneonta still alive I guess I'll just root for Red Dragons all around. 8-)

What's with all of the errors in the regional? During the regular season you can make field condition excuses, but Auburn is a great field, set to major league conditions. Outside of the Cortland Triple play the box scores have been full of EEEEEEEs.

Oneonta eliminates Castleton St with a 9-2 win in the nightcap at Falcon Park. Jr. Ken Smith starts for the Red Dragons and goes 5 innings scattering 9 hits and giving up 2 runs, 1 earned, followed by Soph Chris Smith who throws 4 shutout innings to get the save. Ken had 2 strikeouts with 1 walk, while Chris had 4 k's and 1 walk while allowing just 3 hits. All 12 Castleton St. hits were singles and both pitchers did a fine job stranding the Spartan baserunners.

I guess it's fitting that Red is the color of the Auburn regional. The 3 teams left standing being the Red Dragons of Cortland, The Red Dragons of Oneonta and the Redbirds of the St. John Fisher Cardinals.

Fisher will take on Oneonta tomorrow at 1:00 PM to see which of these 2 teams gets to try and take down Cortland St. twice. Good luck trying to do that!

Anyone at the game with insight on the CSt./Fisher game?  Sounds as though Fisher's pitcher threw well, but Cortland really capitalized on every mistake that was made.

Interesting run by Oneonta.  Hard to fathom that a team who drops the first game of an 8 team tourney could come back to win, but they sure are giving it a go.

The NCAA committee must be smiling a bit with their top three seeds all alive in this regional.  I really liked the Oneonta pick and they have justified their belonging in this regional.  Hard to believe the only game they have lost is the one Filak pitched.  Could be an all Red Dragon final.... but I am going to take Fisher in this one primarily because they are the more rested of the two teams.  Regardless, whoever wins it would be nice to see them get one against Cortland.  Always fun to see that last "if needed" game!!

I was at the first Oneonta game on Wednesday and felt they were a much better team than Farmingdale, but they just could not catch the ball that game. It is nice to see that they were able to rebound and get back to have a shot at making it to the finals.

I think Fisher has a good shot of getting to Cortland as well, but Cortland looks really tough right now. They had to be the favorite anyway, but when they play well they can be really tough to beat. Here is hoping either team can make the rest of the weekend interesting. 
GO FISHER!!!
